The international traffic technology group SWARCO has acquired 100% of the renowned company Heusch/Boesefeldt GmbH, a leading provider of software solutions for highway and tunnel management systems as well as innovative traffic management, effective 19 August 2025.
Headquartered in Aachen, North Rhine-Westphalia, with a branch office in Cottbus, Brandenburg, Heusch/Boesefeldt employs around 50 staff. The company plays a key role in the digitalization and automation of national and international traffic infrastructures. Notable references include the outfitting of the German Traffic Control Center of Autobahn GmbH des Bundes as well as the national traffic management and information center of ASFINAG in Austria and its ongoing development. Projects also include construction site management for Rijkswaterstaat in the Netherlands and CAR2X applications in the digital test field Düsseldorf or for the construction site warning system of Autobahn GmbH.
SWARCO CEO Michael Schuch stated: “With the acquisition of Heusch/Boesefeldt, a company founded in the same year as SWARCO in 1969, we are strategically expanding our technological expertise in customized software solutions. At the same time, we are strengthening our market presence in the DACH region and beyond, enabling closer collaboration with key SWARCO clients in road and highway operations. This also lays the foundation for building a powerful engineering center for highway and tunnel management systems and for developing forward-looking technologies – especially in the field of CCAM (Cooperative, Connected, Automated Mobility).”
Managing Directors Dirk Hübner and Berthold Jansen commented: “As a SWARCO company, Heusch/Boesefeldt is entering a new chapter full of opportunities. Our innovative, highly developed solutions can now have an even greater impact with SWARCO. The future of Heusch/Boesefeldt is secured long-term, and we can continue to offer our employees inspiring prospects: to apply their knowledge and energy to socially meaningful developments and to positively shape the future of mobility.”
